Now,

Fèng jie.

Oh, I see.

Heiji.

While I was talking, someone informed me that "Ms. Mizu is here." Phoenix-san said, "Please come in."

Jia Rui.

I was secretly happy to learn that I had been invited. When I met Auntie Phoenix, she smiled kindly and greeted me many times. Auntie Phoenix also behaved in a friendly manner, inviting me to sit down and offering tea.

Jia Rui, seeing Phoenix Lady's appearance like that, became even more captivated. And with a dazed look in his eyes, he asked, "Why hasn't the second brother returned yet?" Phoenix Lady replied, "I don't know why."

Jia Rui laughed and said, "Perhaps you were held back by someone on your travels, and didn't want to leave?" Phoenix Lady said, "That might be the case. There are men who fall in love with everyone they meet."

Jia Rui said with a smile, "Sister, that's not right. I am not the kind of man." Phoenix Lady replied with a laugh, "How many people like you are there? If you search for ten, you won't find even one."

Jia Rui was overjoyed and, scratching his ears and cheeks, said, "Sister, you must be very bored every day?" Phoenix Lady replied, "Yes. I'm hoping someone will come to talk to me and alleviate my boredom."

Jia Rui said with a smile, "I am free every day. Should I come here every day and be your companion?" Phoenix Lady replied with a laugh, "You are just saying clever things. I don't think you would actually come to see me."

賈瑞 said, "If I tell my sister even a single lie, I don't mind being struck by lightning! Usually, people told me that my sister is strict and doesn't tolerate any mistakes in front of her, so I was afraid. But when I met her, we had fun talking and laughing, and she is a very kind person. There's no way she won't come. Even if I die, I will have no regrets!"

Phoenix Lady smiled and said, "As I thought, you are a person who understands. You are much better than those two, Jia Rong."

"Because they both have such perfectly formed faces, I thought that both of them would be understanding people. But in reality, they are both completely clueless and unable to understand other people's feelings."

Those words were increasingly in line with Jia Rui's desires. Jia Rui involuntarily moved a little closer again and squinted to look at Phoenix Lady's small bag. He then asked what kind of rings she was wearing.

Fengjie said in a low voice, "Please be more well-behaved. Make sure the maids don't see." Jia Rui quickly stepped back as if he had heard words from the emperor or Buddha.

Fengjie smiled and said, "It's time for you to go home." Jia Rui said, "Please let me stay a little longer. My sister is such an unkind person!"

"Sister Phoenix said softly again, "During the day, people come and go, so it's not good for you to be here. Go home first, and when the first signal indicating nighttime arrives, come back. Wait for me quietly in the room on the west side."

Jia Rui, overjoyed as if he had received a treasure, immediately asked, "I'm not joking. But there are many people who pass by that place. How can I hide?" Phoenix Lady replied, "Don't worry. The servants of the night watchman will all be put to sleep. If you close both gates on either side, no one else will be there."

Jia Rui was overjoyed and quickly greeted him and left. In his heart, he felt that things had gone exactly as he wanted them to.
